Therapists in Mountlake Terrace, WA

Hi! My name is Michelle, and I am so glad you’re here. You may be here because you are feeling tired. Life can feel exhausting, overwhelming, and downright difficult to trudge through. You may be carrying feelings of anxiety, depression, shame, or loneliness. You may feel tired from carrying such a heavy burden. Therapy can give you a place to rest.

I offer 100% teletherapy for adults (individuals and couples). The foundation of my practice is based on attachment and guided by research and work by Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. John Gottman. I am passionate about helping others strengthen and build secure attachments. My work is centered around treating anxiety, depression, women’s issues, self-esteem issues, trauma, grief, and attachment disorders. The treatment modalities I utilize are attachment-based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), feminist perspective, the Gottman Method, motivational interviewing, and Trauma Focused-CBT to name a few.

I work with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like their emotions are out of control… they feel like they're on a treadmill, trying so hard but getting nowhere, relationships aren’t what they want them to be, maybe they don’t have enough energy to do things and rest isn’t restful. Or maybe it’s that they're not making progress on meaningful things and instead seem caught up in surviving day-to-day.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in WA state. I specialize in working with those who struggle with childhood and adulthood onset trauma/PTSD, dissociation, Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. EMDR is my preferred thereapeutic modality rooted in humanistic orientation. I love helping clients overcome and thrive in spite of their painful past, feel more comfortable in their own skin, expand capacity for a broader emotional experience, and being more connected to self and others.

Life does not happen in a linear fashion but rather we cycle through different experiences that change how we see ourselves, others, and the world. I work with clients who are struggling to overcome trauma or abuse, whether from specific events or more subtle every day micro-aggressions. I work with clients who are feeling overwhelmed or lost in their many life roles or experiencing distress relating to their cultural identity. Clients that I work with are open to bringing their whole selves (mind/body/spirit) into the space, embracing the natural human process to suffer and love, and hope to feel empowered in the change process.

I work with adults who struggle to fit the mold of what's expected for them - by the people in their lives, by dominant cultural narratives, or by their own internal messaging. There are so many stories of who we are "supposed" to be - it can be overwhelming and disheartening to be met with struggle everywhere you turn and to not feel like you're living your most authentic life. While I welcome clients of many different backgrounds, I have particular experience working with clients experiencing chronic illness & pain, anxiety & depression, low self-worth, indecision, and disconnection from others.

I provide therapy services for adults who want to heal trauma wounds, explore all of their identities, treat themselves with more compassion, and have healthier relationships. Some of my areas of specialization are working with religious trauma and deconstruction, supporting parents of neurodivergent and/or queer and trans kids, and processing relationship loss. I strive to create a trusting and safe environment that honors your individual needs and helps you identify your own strength and wisdom.

Hello there, and thanks for taking the time to look at my profile! Since a young age, I have been passionate about mental health, mindfulness, and becoming the best possible therapist for my clients. I have my own private practice called Annette's Mindful Therapy Practice (PLLC). Currently I work with Mindful Therapy Group. I'm looking forward to meeting you, and answering any questions you may have!

Do you find yourself lashing out, making poor decisions, losing hope and confidence, and it's affecting your relationships? Maybe it feels like no matter what you do, you just can't get it right. Would you like to figure out what's getting in your way? Together, I can help you find what is at the core of your struggles, so instead of wishing for change and relief you can begin a new path of meaningful change. As we get to know each other, we will build a picture of old patterns that keep you stuck. Then we'll figure out where you want to be instead and build a path with intuitive strategies, self-compassion, and confidence.

It takes courage to prioritize your emotional well-being, and I'm honored to be part of your journey. As a therapist, my heartfelt mission is to help you feel better and find the peace and happiness you deserve. Together, we'll swiftly address the blocks that hinder your deep self-exploration and understanding. By delving into the root causes of your struggles, we can untangle old patterns and guide you towards a life of renewed purpose and fulfillment. With a focus on trauma processing and a gentle approach rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS), I'm committed to supporting you in discovering profound healing and lasting change.

Aloha! Welcome! As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I will meet you exactly where you are at and walk the therapeutic journey with you. The therapeutic journey is a relational one, and together we will discover or recover your essential self, so that you can be the best version of the largest vision you hold about yourself. My therapeutic style is casual yet professional, with plenty of laughter and space for tears.

We are all authors to our own stories, and experts in our own lives. When our stories are silenced, harmed, or rejected, this can affect our lives and identities in many ways. It takes immense bravery to let a stranger look past the cover of your story, and you deserve a space where the chapters you wish to process will be handled with respect and care. Whether you are new to therapy or have been participating in therapy for years, I believe that my role is to sit with you wherever you are at in life. Therapy is hard work, and I honor this through taking our time together at your own pace.

Mental health challenges can cause us to feel like we are waging a daily, silent war with ourselves. Physical tension and racing thoughts may seem to consume the entirety of your being and yet, deep down, a part of you has a sense that this is not really you. I know it is not you, too. I believe so deeply in your resilience, innate well-being, and ability to thrive beyond your current experience of anxiety and tension. I help individuals experiencing OCD, eating disorders, generalized anxiety, and patterns of addiction to live a life beyond symptom management.
